We had a wonderful Christmas. On Christmas eve we went to the Every's house. We had a good time. That night the kids opened their pj's (Spongebob this year) and then Operation, which we played before bed. The kids actually slept in until 9 a.m. so we had a late Christmas morning. That afternoon we went to Gabe and Wendy's and had a wonderful dinner with them, the Rays and the Wards. 8 adults, 9 kids and lots of great food.
Kaitlyn asked Santa for 3 Muskateers Barbie, but Grandma helped Santa out with that gift. Thanks Grandma!
Matt got a lot of dinosaurs, which he loves!
Here is Daddy's old Superman cape, which Matt now inherited.
Thanks Aunt Beth for the umbrella, we've already put it to good use.
Grandma Krimme made this adorable tutu for Kaitlyn. Thanks Grandma!
The day after Christmas my brother and his family came to visit. I know you're all wondering how I fit 5 extra people in my house for a week, but it was actually really great. We had a blast, and my kids loved playing with their cousins. They all got to have sleepovers at night, and the adults played games late into the night. Here is Matt and my nephew Jaxon.
Here is my brother Jason and my adorable neice Alexa.
It actually snowed a little bit on Tuesday. My nephews weren't thrilled, but my kids thought Christmas had come again. It all melted by the next day.
Here we all are at the kids club.
We made some New Year's Party hats. Here are the kids creations.
Here's our spread of food. Real healthy, bacon-wrapped smokies, BBQ smokies, pigs in a blanket, 7 layer dip, chili cheese dip and veggie tray. I'm gonna be workin' that off for the next 2 months! But it was totally worth it!
Here's my sister-in-law Lisa and Alexa in her hat.
Here's Aaron's creation. Attractive huh?
These were the streamers they popped. The kids loved that part.
And last but definatly not least, another one of my adorable neice Alexa, who I just love!!

It looks like you guys had so much fun!! I'm so sad I missed it all. Love you guys!
Oh, how FUUUUN! I love the pictures. A few years ago, we had my whole side of the family at our house for Christmas (13 people) and we had people sleeping in every room, but I LOVE it that way!! :)
Looks like a fun Christmas. I can't believe how big your kids have gotten. We haven't seen you in forever. We'll have to have a reunion someday!
It looks like you guys know how to have a great time :) You're such a fun, creative mom! BTW, I know your birthday is in March but I forgot which day? Will you remind me :)
I would love to see you guys!! I was so excited when I read your comment :) Would you like to meet at my house and I can make lunch, or would you rather meet at a restuarant close to the freeway so you can get back on the road quickly? I'd be happy to do either.
I'm so looking forward to see you!
